Answer:

A. (3, -1)

Explanation:

The ordered pair that is a solution is the one which makes the inequality TRUE when the value of the ordered pairs are plugged into 4x - 3y < 16

Therefore, the ordered pair, (3, -1) is the solution because it is the only given ordered pair in the options that makes the inequality true. Thus:

Substitute x = 3 and y = -1 into 4x - 3y < 16

4(3) - 3(-1) < 16

12 + 3 < 16

15 < 16 (TRUE)
